Reddit Video Downloader | Reddloader

extension used to work perfectly, however some time ago it lost the ability to download audio and now all videos downloaded are without sound

I installed this extension (choosing it instead of other similar ones) based on its 5-star average review rating. I noticed that the rating was based on a mere 3 reviews, but I also noticed that the extension had a "Featured" flag which reassured me that those reviews were - in all likelihood - legitimate. However, on my first attempted use of the extension, in which I found a clip on Reddit that I wanted to send to a friend via RCS messaging, making this extension's ability to trim the video and select the quality before finally downloading it ideal as that would decrease the video's file size and make sending the video clip faster over RCS. However, upon downloading the trimmed video (in .mp4 format), and then attempting to play it locally, i received a "media init failed" error, and the video clip would not play! I'm a software engineer who was written my own Chrome extensions, and I highly discourage any users from trying out this non-working extension (which was last updated by its developer on December 28, 2021).

Brilliant extension, with three click my video is downloaded, a click on the post, a click on the extension, and a click on the download button, thank you so much.
